The IRS released a draft Form 1099-DA for reporting "Digital Asset Proceeds from Broker Transactions": irs.gov/pub/irs-dft/f1… As a refresher, this is the form that "brokers" will start using in 2025 to report digital asset transactions to customers. This is a draft form…

AI and innovation at large are firmly in our shared digital future. Fascinating discussions on how to make sure it’s a shared success story for everyone. Thanks @IMFNews @WorldBank for another fascinating Spring Meeting.

Our industry is at the forefront of economic innovation, and clear guidance from federal agencies is critical. That’s why we’re challenging the SEC’s expanded Dealer Rule, which provides more confusion than clarity. We are asking the court to strike down this rule.

Today, BA and CFAT filed a suit against the SEC asking the court to strike down their arbitrarily applied and unclear Dealer Rule expansion. This rule stifles innovation, harms the burgeoning digital asset industry, and emboldens the SEC to lead by unwritten rules and guidance.…
The SEC's expansion of the "dealer" definition defies reason and demonstrates yet another transparent attempt to weaponize securities laws to curtail activity the commission doesn't like, rather than an honest effort to adapt rules to mitigate new emerging risks.

Looking forward to the @BitcoinMagazine livestream at bitcoinhalving.com. I'll share my thoughts on Bitcoin's 4th halving.
The IRS's "broker rule" hasn't been finalized, but it looks like Treasury is really going to take the position that "unhosted wallet providers" are "brokers" 🤦♂️🤦♂️ IRS released draft 1099 form for digital asset "brokers": irs.gov/pub/irs-dft/f1…
